a five-year limit -- let me finish. >> stephanie: no, i can't, because david shuster is back. i think as the president said we're going to have to do this in steps clearly. >> right. >> stephanie: hi david shuster. >> wow, i don't want to be accused of you not letting that guy finish stephanie. >> stephanie: it's because of david shuster. [ laughter ] >> i think president obama is a horrible negotiator, and he proved it and i think the democrats are pulling their hair out saying this guy just won reelection. why not hold firm? i don't quite get -- i think the president is scared. i think he is something of a wuse. >> stephanie: david shuster see you have gone and ruined our romance. it is interesting the different takes on it, david. i hear you, and i know some on the progressive side deal that

way, i was reading a day in democratic underground today, that a lot of people feel the opposite way that the republicans got their assed handed to them on this. >> i think the democrats -- i think -- look i agree, president obama won the battle but i think he may have lost the war. the president took you know -- democrats were able to sake social security, medicare and medicaid cuts off of the table this time they will be on the table next time. and this time around the democrats have no leverage to protect them. well this was nothing compared to what i think the democrats are going to be staring at two months from now. i think my point and maybe the callers as well, that some of it could have been avoided if the president held a little stronger

now. >> stephanie: david do you really -- i think what the white house, you know, said is that -- this congress is going to take office in what 45 minutes from now. do you think he is going to get more cooperation from them? >> i think he could have gotten more out of this deal. and my question to the white house is what leverage do you have next time? the republicans are going to hold the debt hostage, and the cost of it next time around is going to be pretty dramatic cuts to entitlement programs. and right now the democrats have no way of protecting themselves on that. they don't have any leverage -- >> stephanie: pat tumi said we need to tolerate a temporary

partial government shutdown. how do you feel like that is going to play out? are the american people going to tolerate the republicans saying we're going to default on our debt again? >> i said the next time around the question will be you either default on the debt or cut government spending. the whole issue of taxes is off of the table. and now it's fine to sort of blame the republicans now, because they are trying to protect the wealthy. and that's why the republicans backeddown, because they don't like being accused that they were willing to shut down the government in order to protect the wealthy. and now are they willing to shut down the government and cause economic chaos over government spending, i think that's better terrain for them. most americans will say of course, if it's government spending standing in the way, then of course the democrats

should give in and agree with government spending. we all think the government should be smaller. and that's how the mantra is going to go. and then democrats are going to realize they no longer have a flank protecting them. and i just -- i think democrats who are right now celebrating, fine. celebrate the battle but i don't see how democrats win the war. >> stephanie: i'm looking at tweets from donald trump saying the republicans may be the worst negotiators in history. obama and the democrats are laughing at the deal they just got. the republicans got nothing. >> well, so far. >> stephanie: yeah. >> the thing that really scares me is mitch mcconnell. i think democrats might be okay if this was completely left up to the house republicans, democrats might be able to get themselves through this and be fine. mitch mcconnell now has all

kinds of leverage and also some credibility on the republican side, and i think mitch mcconnell is taking the long view. and i think donald trump and others may be taking something of the short [ inaudible ]. yeah, republicans got killed in this round of negotiations just like when president obama got nothing last time around. i'm just a little worried that all of the things that might have helped the democrats are now gone and there you have mitch mcconnell saying. okay. here we go. you are going to cut government spending, or else it is going to be your fault -- >> stephanie: david. >> go ahead. >> stephanie: i think that it -- i think it can't be underestimated how huge it is that republicans had to vote enmass for tax increases on the rich. i don't care what grover

norquist says no they didn't vote for a race. yes, they did. >> for the first time since 1990 republicans have agreed to raise taxes. so yes that is a huge deal. but are we going to be looking at democrats having to make major cuts. >> stephanie: right. yep. >> and the question people have to ask is what is more important, raising taxes on the wealthy? or cutting government spending? well, i think we're going to end up having both and my point is -- i think president obama could have gotten -- raising taxes on the wealthy. i think that's a pretty compelling argument and he could have gotten that without having to agree to cutting government spending. >> stephanie: uh-huh. david the hurricane sandy relief stuff, what i think is striking

is that that laid bare as a lot of reasoning pointed out, that the republicans are in complete disarray, and it is things that didn't used to be a partisan issue, right? >> yeah, i think that's right. and the republican does not only have a leadership dysfunction, there are some that say the [ inaudible ] nothing to do with hurricane sandy relief. and all of a sudden they hear this stuff and start to believe it, and become convinced that the right optics to view these issues is through the prism of conservative media, so they follow conservative media and then they get killed. no fox news is wrong, rush

limbaugh is wrong. how could you schedule a vote especially after the senate has already given you cover because they overwhelmingly passed the hurricane relief bill. and john boehner looks up and is sort of dumbfounded by the reaction he is getting, they don't want to talk about it now because they see the country is agast at this. >> stephanie: we're going to end on the word agast. thank you honey. >> thanks stephanie.

[ laughter ] >> stephanie: don in michigan you are on the "stephanie miller show." >> caller: hi, stephanie, how are you? >> stephanie: good. go ahead. >> caller: the reason i called is republicans are always

talking about how they are anti-tax. they are anti-tax if you are a rich man but if you are a run of a mill worker somewhere, they are not anti-tax. michigan we never used to have a state income tax on the retirees, once we got a republican governor, we have one now. the average retiree doesn't get that big of a retirement to begin with and there goes a hundred dollars a month out of it. and you were talking about pork barrel stuff. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: it seems to me that if a bill is going to be over -- say, x amount of dollars -- say $2 million. okay. then that's the only thing that can be in that bill. you know, why -- the reason they don't do it that way is so they can get in all of the pork.

>> stephanie: you heard from david shuster said. it's interesting isn't it. all of the different takes of these fiscal cliff negotiations. >> yes, i did take a moment on new year's day and said let me wrap my brain on what has happened here. and then we sort of figured it all out, but i think it's how you interpret it. mitch mcconnell wrote an op-ed saying now the tax conversation is over. now we're just going to talk spending cuts, because clearly mitch mcconnell calls the shots. >> stephanie: yeah. >> it will be interesting to see where we land. it's a very difficult thing to interpret. coming off of the health care fight there was a lot of thought that perhaps the white house had sold us out a little bit. and i don't know if people feel that way with regard to catering

to the republican demands a little bit on raising the $250,000 limit. i just don't know yet. >> stephanie: i just feel like they seem to have one pr disaster after another. now this sandy thing is just -- >> that's ridiculous. i mean i don't know how you -- you know, you call off the session without dealing with an aid package. that doesn't make any sense to me. i know the argument was they didn't want to deal with another spending issue right on the heels of the fiscal cliff, and now they are going to have to address it. >> stephanie: yeah, it's not like if you don't have a roof or anything in the winter in the east -- >> yeah, those new york and new jersey people are just so demanding. >> stephanie: exactly. the next thing is immigration reform. he reiterated his call for

immigration reform. >> i will admit i took some time off from being a total junky and got out of the house. i went to the movies -- >> stephanie: me too. i needed some separation from david gregory anyway. >> i emerged from my news cocoon. >> stephanie: exactly. he will begin an all-out drive to immigration reform. >> and gun control is the other top priority that we're hearing about, of course. those were the two that we are hearing, immigration and gun control. >> stephanie: yeah. i just feel like the optics have changed, not only with the huge win in the latino vote but now

in the wake of newtown. i just think the optics are changing on some of these issues. >> it will be interesting to see what happens with immigration just in terms of the republicans who decided that perhaps they needed to be a little more inclusive and tackle some things like immigration reform because they are not going to garner any votes except from the older white demographic. so it will be interesting to see how that plays out in terms of policy. because after the election, all of the republicans came out and said we have to deal with immigration. so it will be interesting to see how that changes the negotiation tactic. >> stephanie: once again, i feel like it is a theme that this version of the republican party only does the right thing when they have to. and they say it out loud. like we may have to do

immigration because we lost the latino vote. it's like you aren't supposed to say that part. >> it's like i love you women. >> stephanie: don't we know it sister. >> but it's that same concept. the idea that you pay lip service to something you don't believe or stan for, and then somehow expect the electorate to believe you. who knows. maybe they are at a tipping point. maybe it's time to say we got to do something and make some progress. i'm not optimistic, but maybe with this new class we can get some movement. that would be nice. >> stephanie: oh i'm sure they are an entirely different breed all together. >> stephanie: this was a recent story. republicans have a tolerance problem. do you think? he says it goes beyond the

latino vote extending to anyone who isn't white. and he is talk about the actual numbers, which is pretty stunning. 27% to obama's 71%. he said i think when you define people who look differently than you as -- >> yeah, gosh it's so hard, because you don't want to make generalizations about an entire political party, but it seems to be that the majority of the republican party tens to be -- gosh i'm going to get myself in trouble here. tends to be a little more on the exclusive side when it comes to itsdz racial and ethnic makeup, happens? >> stephanie: yeah, and they were talking about that he also

won hugely among asians. >> and african-americans, and young people -- anybody who is not older and white and male. >> stephanie: right. the pole said when you call people who believe in global warming, when you talk about gay people, you have a tolerance problem. so that's what he is saying it's more of a general tolerance problem. >> yeah, and it's unfortunate that that defines an entire political party. it would be nice if they could talk about disagreement on policy based on facts, rather than based on fment principals. >> stephanie: and i think generationally is what weened with. voters under 40. how do you redefine yourself to almost half of the electorate.

we had this right-wing caller on earlier that said oh no we're a party in transition. [♪ magic wand ♪] >> yeah, i have some friends that are very reasonable about the reasons why they are republican or conservative. but it tends to be a lot of fiscal policy. it tends to be more financial and they tend to be more open-minded on social issues. and as we evolve we're more tolerant of social issues just growing up and we talk about gay marriage and more comprehensive immigration policy or just things that we have grown up with that seem very normal to us. >> stephanie: yeah. right. right. you can almost every other day pick up a headline like this.
